Carl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz - 29/1/17

[Batman]

Frampton not going to win this. Maybe doesn't even get the third fight.

I think he gets the 3rd fight, 1 a piece and they are still really evenly matched even if Santa Cruz has been the better man tonight

[Spicoli]

Honestly near 7-5 or 8-4 Santa Cruz all in all. Frampton seemed to handcuff his own punching especially when close? Did pretty much what he wanted to do all 12 rounds and maintained real estate, constant pace in and out.

[Spicoli]

Trump almost built his wall around the judges tonight..whew!

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus, I don't know how you can stand them "Frampton walks into a right, but I like the way he's coming forward" even a flush right hand for Santa Cruz gets credit to Frampton. Insane

This is when you realise that the Warren Way might be a better career move. A bunch of fights knocking over cans in Belfast might be better than going to the US and running into somebody like Santa Cruz. And just like that he wins.

Seriously, how the fuck do you come back from this if you're Frampton? Frampton now has one big fight left which he'll lose and thenn he's back to fighting in Belfast anyway.

[Batman]

Good result, I wanted Frampton to win but I'm glad the right man won on the night.
Santa Cruz surprised me with that performance.

[armin]

Leo won that clearly fuck a 114 114

[Spicoli]

Insane to watch two guys like this feel they need to 'apologize' for anything here. Good scrap again. 3rd is a natural

[Batman]

Fair play to Frampton, he got beat and he admitted he got beat, no excuses, had a good camp and the better man won.

A few other brits should take note of that, we don't usually handle defeat all that well.

Right I'm fucking off back to bed for an hour

[Ron Swanson]

Both are class acts. Hats off to both guys

Aye, fair play to Frampton, he was class.

However, as for things that aren't class. Drinking beer until around 2pm, lying down for 5 mins and then falling asleep and only waking up for the last 30 seconds of the final round. Not Cool!

[powerpuncher]

I'll be honest, Santa Cruz surprised me. I did not think that he could box that well or even be disciplined enough to continue doing it throughout the fight. He won comfortably.

Frampton was a class act after the fight. So props to him. A third fight is a must.

Done that a few times before!

Good clean fight and Cruz deserved the decision and surprised me with his tactics which were bang on.
Frampton seemed to not know whether to stay in close or at range and was getting picked off too much, i'd have liked to have seen him make that a war and stay in close to counter the Cruz tactics.
Shane McGuigan should have been screaming at him that he needed the KO before the 12th started but did the total opposite which I found strange but maybe Team Frampton had the rematch in mind by that stage?
The Atmosphere at the MGM was full on party mode too, both sets of fans were more like football fans and brought the noise.
Hope the 3rd fight is in Belfast

[Fenster]

I was surprised Santa Cruz changed it up, looked a much neater fighter than in the past, just using his range more made him a deserved winner, even though it was close. Quality operators in and out the ring. Wouldn't be surprised if it swung back to Frampton in the rubber match.

Mikey Garcia looked P4P cracking an unbeaten granite chin. Looked a long tough fight beforehand

Great KO that, free shot delivered bang on the chin
